Advanced SBR
Harnessing a simple and reliable
solution for quality water
The Sanitaire ICEAS Advanced SBR is a continuous flow biological treatment system that
provides multiple advantages over conventional activated sludge and other SBRs by bringing
together process, aeration, decanting and control in a single treatment tank. It is fully
automated and includes a completely integrated process design consisting of the aeration
system, blowers, pumps, mixers, effluent decanters, monitoring and control equipment and
comprehensive process control system.

Simplifying operations for reliable results

The ICEAS SBR is designed to reduce complexity of operation.
Unlike conventional activated sludge plants, there is no need
for primary or secondary settlement tanks or return sludge
pumps. All treatment is done in a single basin. Continuous
inflow distributes variations in flows and loads evenly across
all basins simplifying day to day operations and operational
changes as well as accommodating single basin operation
for low flow and maintenance conditions.
The intelligently designed process control system with
simple, intuitive time-based control and trending capability
provide a full system overview, making it easy to optimize
plant performance, predict maintenance and reduce operating
costs taking the complexity out of SBRs.
The ICEAS SBR can handle flows from 100 m3/day to 300,000
m3/day. It can be designed to accommodate up to six times
average daily flow while assuring high effluent quality across
the entire flow range with the unique basin design and
actively controlled decanter. Sanitaires proprietary Sludge
Inventory Management System (SIMS) automatically maintains
the preset solids retention time, resulting in reliable settling
characteristics and effluent quality, all while reducing operator
attention requirements.
The ICEAS process also effectively removes nitrogen and
phosphorus from wastewater through biological nutrient
removal (BNR) process.
 The ICEAS phases
With its continuous flow process, Sanitaire ICEAS
SBR features three distinct treatment phases:

footprint, reducing up-front capital expenditure by using less land
and lowering civil construction costs. With almost 1000 installations,
our experienced design team can put together an optimized, flexible
solution to meet not only your current needs but also provide the
expandability to meet your future emerging requirements.
